New bus station at redeveloped Colbert Station

LOL, no I didn't miss the new construction :) I was talking about the bus yard. The new concourse looked smartened up when I was there, and I hope more people use the station and don't trash it.

The bike parking is now in, at the side over by the old bus station. In fairness the overhang from the roof will keep the bikes out of the rain and the stands are the Sheffield type which are pretty robust. I was pleasantly surprised.

Ya I was thinking the same about the key thing. The seats are pretty redundant anyway but it still works looks stupid. I wouldn't say hidden though because that will become the busiest section of the car park.

It all kinda looks like they still really don't get it though. I'm gonna hazard a guess that whoever put them there and the station in general have never heard of "last km" commuting.

There are some lockers inside platform 4 that can be rented by long term subscription but the ideal solution is to have some Sheffield stands in there. People have been locking to the railings there for years because it has long ago been figured out as the safest place.

I'm not saying we need this many but I would be familiar with Marylebone and Paddington which both have bike spaces beyond the ticket check.

Just wondering are these finished?As another poster mentioned a general shop would be a good addition in the station.

Passed through at the weekend. Nice job but definitely need to change the old and very shabby perspexs in the main part of the station. A lot more light needed.

Guessing its not in the plan though but it would make a huge difference
